200 Bangladeshi Taka Commemorative banknote (2020)

200 Taka (Issued 2020)

Introduced in 2020, the 200 Taka was issued by Bangladesh Bank as a commemorative standard note marking the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of the nation, celebrating the period 1920 to 2020. It sits within a broader modernisation of the country’s currency programme and carries both ceremonial and everyday significance, remaining current legal tender and circulating freely in commerce. Presented for exchange in the United Kingdom, it is accepted as a current-issue denomination.

On the front, the dominant feature is a detailed engraved portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman rendered in warm brown and ochre tones against a softly patterned background of guilloche and latent geometric designs. He is shown wearing his characteristic thick-framed spectacles and a dark jacket, his expression composed and authoritative. The issuing authority’s name appears in Bengali script as বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংক across the upper central area, with a decorative floral panel in pink and red running down the left margin. The denomination দুইশত টাকা is set in bold Bengali script at the centre, with the numeral 200 in deep red at the lower right. A red serial number appears twice, a shimmering security thread runs parallel to the right edge, and an inscription referencing the 1920–2020 centenary runs across the upper portion. The palette blends gold, olive, ochre and warm red throughout.

The reverse is printed in a distinctive deep crimson and dark red, giving the design a rich, unified appearance. A second, younger portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman occupies the left portion, captioned “Birth Centenary”, beneath the English heading “Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Centenary 1920–2020”. The central and right portions carry a detailed scenic engraving of a broad river landscape with traditional wooden boats and lush, rural riverbanks characteristic of the Bangladeshi delta. The numeral 200 appears at the upper left, “TWO HUNDRED TAKA” is set vertically along the right margin, and “BANGLADESH BANK” runs in bold English across the lower centre, with the Taka symbol and 200 at the lower right. A diamond-shaped geometric motif sits beneath the portrait as a further security element.
